04/16/2007 11:05 PM ET Zito victorious as Giants roll Durham's three-run homer highlights offensive onslaught By Tony DeMarco / Special to MLB.com DENVER -- Successfully dodging rain drops for the first time since Friday, the Giants found the rest of their night to be a walk in the park. They exploded for five runs in the third inning, and that was more than enough for new ace Barry Zito, who cruised to an 8-0 victory over the Colorado Rockies before an announced crowd of 18,222 at Coors Field. After getting rained out on successive days in Pittsburgh, the Giants faced a Monday night forecast for more of the wet stuff, but it never materialized. Then they rained runs on Rockies starter Jeff Francis and two relievers. Ray Durham's three-run homer in the third inning was the decisive blow, and it was followed by a solo shot from Bengie Molina. Omar Vizquel had four hits and drove in two runs, and the Giants banged out 13 hits -- seven for extra bases -- and matched their season-high run total. Zito, the club's $126 million free-agent signee, earned his first victory with an outstanding six-inning performance, allowing only three hits and three walks while striking out four. Zito retired 11 in a row to start the game before walking Garrett Atkins with two out in the fourth, and escaped his only jam by striking out Jamey Carroll with the bases loaded to end the fifth.
